About: I’ve always loved dogs and have cared for dogs of different ages and personalities throughout my life. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I’ll treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🏠🐾 Home Boarding I offer a comfortable, loving home environment for small and medium-sized dogs 1 year and older. I keep boarding small and personal, with a maximum of two dogs at a time, so each dog receives plenty of individual attention and care. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and socialization. I’m happy to care for dogs who enjoy having other dogs around, as well as dogs who are more comfortable being the only dog in my care. Every dog has their own personality and comfort level, and I’m happy to tailor their stay to their individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run around. I also have a stroller for dogs who prefer more of a pampered ride around town than a leash walk. Before accepting a new boarding dog, I prefer to have a Meet & Greet so we can make sure your dog is comfortable in my home and that we’re a good fit. If an in-person meeting isn’t convenient, I’m also happy to arrange a Zoom/video call first. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. ❤️ I’m am very reliable and available for pet care on my days off, including Mondays,Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays . I can also open additional days on my calendar when I’m available. I enjoy spending time with dogs and giving them the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. For drop-in visits, I provide care in your home and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll make sure your dog is safe and comfortable, keep doors and gates secure, and provide plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home.
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”

About: With 30 years in pet care and 50 years of animal ownership, I bring a deep love for animals to every client. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I volunteer and intern with a wildlife rehabilitator. From dogs to birds, bunnies, hamsters, and more, I’ve cared for them all—in-home and in clients’ homes—delivering compassionate, personalized pet care. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the time and dedication to care for your pet or pets either in my home or in your home. Your pet(s) are welcome to stay in my home, a loving, safe, and pet-friendly environment, or I can care for them in your own home—whichever you prefer. They will receive the utmost love and care, which they deserve while you are away.
About: I love caring for your feline family members! I've looked after cats of all breeds, sizes, and needs for 20 years. I will not only feed and water your furry baby, but deep clean the litter box when needed, clean up fur balls, play, and give lots of love (when desired by the cat). If your pet has medical needs, I'm comfortable administering medicine, keeping track of dosages, and updating you on their status. With me, you're leaving your beloved cat in capable and friendly hands 😊
“Alexa took amazing care of our Jabba boy while we were gone for 9 days! She sent updates and pictures with every visit. She kept everything clean and kept our somewhat high maintenance kitty safe. Definitely recommend Alexa and we will be using her again!”
“Amazing! Phil sent me wonderful pictures and updates during his check-ins with my cat Zeek. Very easy to set up everything and quick to reply. Zeek was happy to have a new friend for a few days. I would 100% book check-ins with Phil again in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was young and take great pride in paying attention to everything a fur baby does. Where they sleeps, what they likes to eat, their favorite toys just so they can have the best moments possible.
About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a lifelong animal lover who knows that pets aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I grew up with both cats and dogs, have cared for other people’s pets over the years, and currently have an 11-year-old dachshund of my own. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs with anxiety who may need a little extra patience, reassurance, and understanding. As a pet parent myself, I completely understand the stress that comes with leaving your pet behind while you’re away. You’re not only looking for someone who will show up, you’re trusting someone to care for a member of your family. I want you to be able to enjoy your trip knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, loved, and being cared for by someone you can rely on. One of the biggest benefits of caring for your pet in your home is that they get to stay where they feel safest. Their favorite bed is still there, their familiar smells are still there, and their normal routine doesn’t have to disappear just because you’re away. And when it comes to that routine, there’s no such thing as too much information! I genuinely want every detail you’re willing to give me, feeding times, walk schedules, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, commands, quirks, hiding spots, anxieties, comfort items, where they like to be scratched, and even the little things that might seem silly to anyone else. My goal is simple: the only part of your pet’s routine that should change is that you’re away. Everything else stays as familiar and consistent as possible. Whether your pet is young and energetic, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or an anxious pup who needs extra reassurance, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and give them the patience, affection, attention, and consistency they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated so you don’t have to spend your trip wondering how things are going. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet, learn their routine, and help make being apart a little easier for both of you. 🐾❤️ I work full-time as a nanny Monday through Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, with open availability on weekends. Outside of my work hours, my schedule allows me to be flexible and intentional with my time, so when I accept a booking, your pet can be a top priority. I’m happy to plan my mornings, evenings, and weekends around your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. Whether that means morning and evening walks, meals at specific times, extra playtime, cuddles, or simply being there to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they’re accustomed to. I’m also mindful of how long your pet is comfortable being alone and want to know what their normal day looks like before accepting a booking. My goal is never to overbook myself, it’s to make sure I have the time and flexibility to give your pet the dependable, attentive care they deserve. 🐾 For everyone’s safety and comfort, I provide care exclusively in your home, as my own dog is reactive to other dogs. I’ve also found that many pets are happiest staying in the environment they already know and feel safe in, surrounded by their own bed, toys, smells, and familiar routine. Keeping them at home can make your time away feel much less disruptive and help create an easier, less stressful transition. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect any boundaries or behavioral needs you share with me, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and anything else important to their care are handled exactly as requested. Please tell me every quirk, trigger, habit, or precaution, there’s no such thing as too much information! I have a manual for my own dog for sitters! And I know you’re trusting me with more than your pet, you’re trusting me with your home. I take that responsibility just as seriously. I’ll treat your space with care and respect, keep things tidy throughout my stay, and make every effort to leave your home even better than I found it. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, comfortable pet and a clean, cared for home, so the only thing you need to worry about after your trip is getting all the “I missed you” cuddles. 🐾❤️

I am also comfortable administering medications, including inhalers, and following any specific care needs or routines your cat may have.

Will definitely be going back!”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for the past 18 years and have cared for dogs through every stage of life, from energetic younger dogs to seniors who need extra patience, gentleness and attention. My two beloved dogs, Charlie and Sophie, were a huge part of my life, and caring for them gave me years of hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medications, changing needs, senior care and, most importantly, understanding each dog’s individual personality. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ dogs over the years, including dogs of different breeds, sizes and temperaments. I’m very comfortable learning a dog’s routine and following it closely so they feel secure and relaxed while their family is away. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I’m attentive, calm, affectionate and dependable. I treat every dog as an individual and want them to feel safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for — not simply “watched.” I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of individual attention rather than fitting them around a packed day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting, including daytime care and many evenings and weekends. I enjoy being active and walking, so dog walks fit very naturally into my routine. I’m also happy to accommodate a pet’s established feeding, walking, medication and bedtime schedule as closely as possible. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, normal routine, medical needs, feeding instructions, walking habits and any triggers or special concerns before caring for them. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and never assume that what works for one dog will work for another. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and the home and try to keep everything as familiar and predictable as possible. On walks, I pay close attention to surroundings, traffic, other dogs and leash security. I’m also very comfortable with senior dogs or pets who need a slower pace, extra reassurance or more frequent attention.
“Beth was great and my dog came home a very happy pup! When we arrived, she had already familiarized herself with his diet instructions, which gave me peace of mind from the start. She also sent regular updates and a photo during the stay. We’ll definitely book with Beth again!”
“Ana was really great with our very anxious 13 year old pug-daschund mix, Honey. We have never left honey with a sitter before and the first time couldn't have been better. Ana managed honeys anxiety issues with utmost care and professionalism. Will definitely look forward to utlizing her services in the future.”
“Thais & Nathalie have a great energy that I picked up immediately from our meet and greet video call. They were accommodating to my dog’s special needs with separation anxiety and dog reactivity. Would absolutely hire them again!”
About: I treat every animal exactly as if they were my own. With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, my background is deeply rooted in animal welfare. Growing up in Maryland, I volunteered at a local animal rescue, interned with an equine veterinary clinic, and served as a volunteer and instructor in equine therapy. I came to Boston for college and have resided here ever since! I am still an avid equestrian today, and this lifelong dedication to animals has shaped my approach to pet care: I am incredibly detail-oriented, highly observant, and bring infinite patience to every animal's unique needs. I grew up surrounded by large dogs—including three wonderful Labradors—as well as multiple cats. Recently, my husband, Johnny, and I moved to Marblehead, where we share our home with our two sweet cats, Ozzy and Willis. What to Expect When You Book With Me: Constant Companionship: As a working professional in the consulting industry who is fully remote, my flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable supervision. I ensure your pets receive lots of daytime companionship and are never left alone for more than 4-5 hours a day. Tailored Attention: Family and friends have always relied on me for meticulous care. I make it a priority to learn everything about your pet's routine, quirks, and needs to ensure they are happy and safe. Professional & Insured: As an established, fully independently insured pet care professional, I am always happy to discuss flexible care and scheduling arrangements that work best for your family. Reliability & Safety: I have my own reliable vehicle, allowing for complete flexibility with visits and peace of mind in the unlikely event of an emergency.

For house sitting, I use your house as a homebase to make your pet feel comfortable and used to their normal routine. I am able to drop in, house sit, and walk your furry friend, feed and play with your dog or cat, and everything in between (and of course take many pictures!)
“This is our second time using Rover and it was such an awesome experience. We're looking for an in-home daycare and my puppy Houston had an absolute blast with Weihai, and the pups Igo and Kiwi. Houston can't wait to return - thank you!”
“Ana took such wonderful care of my dog for the past two full days, even with a last-minute reservation. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. She made sure she got plenty of walks and lots of attention. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Very good communication before and during the dog sitting. I felt at ease leaving my dog for the day. I don’t live in the area but would definitely leave my dog with this Rover again if I did or if we return.”

She has a calm and kind demeanor that worked well for him. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her for additional walks in the near future.”
About: I’ve always had pets in my family, so I grew up around animals and learned to love and care for them from a young age. Four years ago, I adopted my own pug, and he quickly became part of my everyday life. I love playing with him, feeding him, going on walks, relaxing together, and even taking naps. Having my own pet has taught me even more about patience, responsibility, and giving animals lots of love and attention. I would treat your pet with the same care and affection I give my own. I work from 3:00 PM to 11:30 PM, so my mornings are usually open and flexible for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have some weekend availability depending on my work schedule, so feel free to reach out and we can find a time that works! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while I’m with them. I’ll follow their usual routine, keep their food and water fresh, give them plenty of attention, and of course make time for play and cuddles. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s space and personality, so I always try to make them feel relaxed and cared for.

About: My family has always had at least one cat or dog, so I have grown up with these wonderful animals as well as learned how to care for them with walking, feeding, cleaning, playing, etc. I am familiar with the body language of dogs and cats and want to provide a fun and safe experience for them while taking into account their unique temperaments and personalities. I treat every dog and cat like the beloved family member that I know they are. I am a grad student at Salem State, so besides going to classes and completing my coursework, I am available. I would love to spend some of my time meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am unavailable on Tues-Thurs mornings from 8:30-11am, Tues-Wed evenings from 4-7pm, and Thurs evenings from 6-9:30pm.

My goal is simple: the only part of your pet’s routine that should change is that you’re away. Everything else stays as familiar and consistent as possible. Whether your pet is young and energetic, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or an anxious pup who needs extra reassurance, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and give them the patience, affection, attention, and consistency they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated so you don’t have to spend your trip wondering how things are going. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet, learn their routine, and help make being apart a little easier for both of you. 🐾❤️ I work full-time as a nanny Monday through Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, with open availability on weekends. Outside of my work hours, my schedule allows me to be flexible and intentional with my time, so when I accept a booking, your pet can be a top priority. I’m happy to plan my mornings, evenings, and weekends around your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. Whether that means morning and evening walks, meals at specific times, extra playtime, cuddles, or simply being there to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they’re accustomed to. I’m also mindful of how long your pet is comfortable being alone and want to know what their normal day looks like before accepting a booking. My goal is never to overbook myself, it’s to make sure I have the time and flexibility to give your pet the dependable, attentive care they deserve. 🐾 For everyone’s safety and comfort, I provide care exclusively in your home, as my own dog is reactive to other dogs. I’ve also found that many pets are happiest staying in the environment they already know and feel safe in, surrounded by their own bed, toys, smells, and familiar routine. Keeping them at home can make your time away feel much less disruptive and help create an easier, less stressful transition. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect any boundaries or behavioral needs you share with me, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and anything else important to their care are handled exactly as requested. Please tell me every quirk, trigger, habit, or precaution, there’s no such thing as too much information! I have a manual for my own dog for sitters! And I know you’re trusting me with more than your pet, you’re trusting me with your home. I take that responsibility just as seriously. I’ll treat your space with care and respect, keep things tidy throughout my stay, and make every effort to leave your home even better than I found it. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, comfortable pet and a clean, cared for home, so the only thing you need to worry about after your trip is getting all the “I missed you” cuddles. 🐾❤️

“Renee was amazing with our Zoe! I could tell from the moment I met her she is a huge dog lover and our pup would get lots of love staying at Renee’s while we were traveling- and I was right! We loved getting pictures and updates every day and we could tell she was happy and well cared for. She even got our very stubborn girl to go on walks and play with other puppies! We will definitely have Renee watch Zoe again when we go out of town!”
“Olympia always has so much fun at Natasha and Jon’s house! They are totally on top of her allergy meds and send tons of photos which is great. She comes home a very happy girl.”
“We left our dog Wyle with John for 4 days while we went to California for a wedding. We had never been that far away from Wyle and had never left him for that long. We felt completely at peace knowing John was taking care of Wyle. We got regular updates and pictures and we could tell he was being well taken care of and was having a lot of fun! We will definitely have Wyle stay with John again in the future if needed. Thanks John for taking such good care of our boy!”
“Zwany and Leandro are the best! They took great care of my dogs while I was away, they were very attentive and professional. You can really tell they love animals! Your beloved pets will be in great hands with them!”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for the past 18 years and have cared for dogs through every stage of life, from energetic younger dogs to seniors who need extra patience, gentleness and attention. My two beloved dogs, Charlie and Sophie, were a huge part of my life, and caring for them gave me years of hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medications, changing needs, senior care and, most importantly, understanding each dog’s individual personality. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ dogs over the years, including dogs of different breeds, sizes and temperaments. I’m very comfortable learning a dog’s routine and following it closely so they feel secure and relaxed while their family is away. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I’m attentive, calm, affectionate and dependable. I treat every dog as an individual and want them to feel safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for — not simply “watched.” I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of individual attention rather than fitting them around a packed day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting, including daytime care and many evenings and weekends. I enjoy being active and walking, so dog walks fit very naturally into my routine. I’m also happy to accommodate a pet’s established feeding, walking, medication and bedtime schedule as closely as possible. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, normal routine, medical needs, feeding instructions, walking habits and any triggers or special concerns before caring for them. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and never assume that what works for one dog will work for another. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and the home and try to keep everything as familiar and predictable as possible. On walks, I pay close attention to surroundings, traffic, other dogs and leash security. I’m also very comfortable with senior dogs or pets who need a slower pace, extra reassurance or more frequent attention.
“Id give Kristin more than 5 stars if I could. She's our go to person for Gilly - our senior (15+ yr old) Bassett - not only because she knows exactly how to work with senior dogs - but also because she really cares”
“I will definitely be rebooking with Rebeca! I could tell that she and her family truly cared for my dog, as they would their own. I received lots of photos and updates on her stay!”
“David was great. Gala felt right at home it seems and he was great about taking her on walks. He was a great communicator and sent pics which is comforting when you leave your dog at a new place. If we are ever back in the area we will reach out again!”
About: With 25 years of experience having my own dog sitting business, I will take loving care of your precious dog in my Swampscott home. I have a large, fenced-in yard. No cages here. Many great references. Friendly, female dogs only, please. I make my own hours, so I can be home for your dog to take care of her every need. I am crazy about dogs, and my own dog, Annie, gets along well with other friendly dogs. I have a fenced-in yard, which dogs love to go out into. I can let them out any time, for as long as they want to sit outside in the sun, or come inside into the cool air conditioning on hot days.
“Xinyue and Weihai were most accommodating and responsive during a last minute stay. Indy had a great time and I felt most assured of his care while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Jack had a such a great time with Freddi. She took my high energy boy to walk in the woods everyday, which he always enjoyed. Sent plenty of pictures and updates daily. I truly appreciate the care and would be in contact again!”
“Lady spent another great day with Elliott! She is always so happy when we arrive and clearly enjoys her time there. We are very grateful to be able to leave her in such good hands!”
“Akhil and his wife took wonderful care of our goldendoodle Daisy. They gave her lots of attention, affection, and snacks. We received regular photo and video updates every day and felt like we were there with them!”
“I have only glowingly positive things to say about Paloma and her family’s excellent, loving, active care of my two dogs. One of my dogs is skittish and has trouble settling in, the other is strong and needs a ton of exercise. Paloma managed to win both dogs over, updated me regularly, sent photos and videos, and just generally made me feel my girls were being well loved and cared for in my absence. Without a doubt, the girls will be back! Thank you!!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. I had to book last minute due to a family emergency, and she completely put my mind at ease. Lily was so well cared for and happy when I returned. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“This was the first time we left our lab for 3 full nights. Lori sent me pics and videos so I knew our Shadow was having a great time - which allowed us to enjoy our time. When we first walked in to Lori’s home I could feel the comfort level for all pets and people alike. I could tell that Shadow would be able to relax. I will not hesitate to reach out to Lori for her availability if we need to travel for any reason. With the govt shutdown I was concerned that we might get delayed but Lori responded immediately to my concern and to any questions I had.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have cared for dogs of different ages and personalities throughout my life. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I’ll treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🏠🐾 Home Boarding I offer a comfortable, loving home environment for small and medium-sized dogs 1 year and older. I keep boarding small and personal, with a maximum of two dogs at a time, so each dog receives plenty of individual attention and care. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and socialization. I’m happy to care for dogs who enjoy having other dogs around, as well as dogs who are more comfortable being the only dog in my care. Every dog has their own personality and comfort level, and I’m happy to tailor their stay to their individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run around. I also have a stroller for dogs who prefer more of a pampered ride around town than a leash walk. Before accepting a new boarding dog, I prefer to have a Meet & Greet so we can make sure your dog is comfortable in my home and that we’re a good fit. If an in-person meeting isn’t convenient, I’m also happy to arrange a Zoom/video call first. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. ❤️ I’m am very reliable and available for pet care on my days off, including Mondays,Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays . I can also open additional days on my calendar when I’m available. I enjoy spending time with dogs and giving them the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. For drop-in visits, I provide care in your home and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll make sure your dog is safe and comfortable, keep doors and gates secure, and provide plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home.
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Andre was great with Luna ! Kept great contact with videos. She was walked for hours a day. When I picked her up she ate and crashed out. She was clearly tired. I will definitely use Andre again!!!🐆”
